10. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:

Discovery 1:During the Kamakura period and the early Le Dynasty, land was considered the most fundamental type of property that the government paid attention to. It was also the most commonly used type of property in inheritance relationships.

Discovery 2: The success or failure of the imperial court is evident in the eyes of the beholder.It was a legal document issued by the Kamakura Shogunate to create a legal basis, protect the economic foundation of the samurai class, and balance power with contemporary forces.

Discovery 3:With the development of the Kamakura government, property ownership and management were unified under the eldest son. The economic independence of women in samurai families weakened, and they gradually became dependent on their husbands' samurai families.

Discovery 4:The feudal system of the Kamakura Shogunate was based on a deeply decentralized master-servant relationship. This relationship, strengthened by internal conflicts, became even more rigid and vulnerable to influence from overseas armed forces.

11. Practical applications:

- These research findings will provide insights into the approach to studying other legal codes of the Shogunate later on, for my own research and that of my students…

- Used as a reference material for teaching the history of medieval Japan.

12. Directions for further research:

- Research on divorce regulations, primarily focusing on women during the Kamakura period, from a gender perspective.

- Studying the Japanese feudal system from the perspective of property inheritance.

- Research on adoption regulations in medieval Japan

10. Summary of thesis's new findings:

- In the Kamakura period or period ofLeSo, the land is still considered the most basic type of property concerned by the authority. This is also the commonly used type of property for giving inheritance and inheritance.

- Goseibai shikimoku is the legal texts issued by the Kamakura to create a legal basis for protecting the economic base for warriors and balancing warriors' power with the contemporary forces'.

- Along with the development of the Kamakura authority, the powers of property ownership and management are embodied in the primary son's position. Women's economic independence in the warrior families has become weaker and dependent on their husband's warrior families.

- Feudalism of the Kamakura is based on the deeply-decentralized master-vassal relationship. The more this relationship experienced the domestic conflicts, the more cohesive and powerful it became. However, it was more vulnerable after being impacted by the oversea armed forces.

11. Practical applicability, if any:

- The findings of this study will suggest approaches to research other laws of the following Kamakura periods;

- The findings are used as a reference for the subject of Japanese History in the medieval period.

12. Further research directions, if any:

- Research on regulations regarding divorce and women of Kamakura period from the gender perspective.

- Research on the Japanese feudalism from the perspective of property inheritance.
